Brits have much more in common with America than with all those countries in the EU. Brits should join America.

The cricle would then be complete.

Or the US could just apologise and ask to join the commonwealth.

Actually since Bush left the ABM Treaty, Britain has been pondering leaving the Treaty of Paris.

And Europe would be the only one to benefit.

51ST STATE
(Cartwright/NMA) 1979/85

Look out of your windows, watch the skies
Read all the instructions with bright blue eyes
We're W.A.S.Ps, yeah, proud American sons
We know how to clean our teeth and how to strip down a gun

'Cos we're the 51st state of America

Our star-spangled Union Jack flutters so proud
Over the dancing heads of the merry patriotic crowd
So tip your hat to the Yankee conqueror
We've got no reds under the bed; we've guns under our pillows

We're the 51st state of America

Here in the land of opportunity... watch us revel in our liberty
You can say what you like but it doesn't change anything
Because the corridors of power are an ocean away

We are the 51st state of America

On the other hand, America could go back to the old days and submit it to British rule once again. I'm all for it!

Late Home Tonight, Part 1

Standing at the window
A farmer's wife in Oxford shire
Glances at the clock; it's nearly time for tea
She doesn't see
The Phantom in the hedgerow dip its wings
Doesn't hear the engine sing

But in the cockpit's techno glow
Behind the Ray Ban� shine
The kid from Cleveland
In the comfort of routine
Scans his dials and smiles
Secure in the beauty of military life
There is no right or wrong
Only tin cans and cordite and white cliffs
And blue skies and flight flight flight
The beauty of military life
No questions only orders and flight, only flight
What a beautiful sight in his wild blue dream
The eternal child leafs through his war magazine
And his kind Uncle Sam feeds ten trillion in change
Into the total entertainment combat video game
And up here in the stands
The fans are going wild
The cheerleaders flip
When you wiggle your hip
And we all like the bit when you take
The jeans from the refrigerator and
Then the bad guy gets hit
And were you struck by the satisfying way
The swimsuit sticks to her skin
Like BB gun days
When knives pierce autumn leaves
But that's okay see the children bleed
It'll look great on the TV

And in Tripoli
Another ordinary wife
Stares at the dripping tap her old man hadn't
Time to fix
Too busy mixing politics and rhythm
In the street below

[explosion]

Late Home Tonight, Part 2

Hark the wire service sing
Clear the satellite link
Check the fax machine
Hold the lead story boys
There's some great pictures coming in
Now the pilot's heartbeat slows
Palms dry out
No questions only orders
And the F-1 glides in nose-up
Through the cloudbase and the
Ground crew cheers as he puts down
His landing gear
Hey boy you're a hero take this cigar
Back home in Cleveland
All the papers and local TV stations
Will be calling your ma
And the farmer's wife
Shoos the cat off the chair
She says sit down my dear
Was the milking all right
Our American friends...
are late home tonight

- Roger Waters

That should have been F111 not Phantom.

Mr. Super Hands

What do we have in common?
Why should nations with an ocean between them "join"?
Circle of what?

Please post the reasoning for your opinions, this leads to discussion.
